The window and door industry has become very saturated. With such a high number of companies offering a wide variety of products, customers often become confused and misled.

With urban sprawl hitting record highs in downtown Toronto and across Canada, homeowners and tenants are searching for a real soundproof window. Triple pane windows are excellent for energy efficiency. A triple-pane window will provide homeowners with a low U-Value. The lower the U-Value the less heating/cooling the window will allow to escape. If you are looking to save money on your heating and cooling cost you should purchase a triple pane window.

Encore Windows offers some of the most energy-efficient windows in Canada
One may question if that extra pane of glass also offers any real sound reduction… It does not. The difference is usually not noticeable by the human ear. Noise will transmit through glass very easily, adding another layer of glass does very minimal to the STC rating of the window. The important component you require to reduce noise effectively is the acoustical laminate film that is added to the glass.

For many years laminate film has been used for added security to windows and doors. In high doses, this laminate will also be bulletproof glass. It is a special acoustical laminate film combined with sufficient airspace in the sealed unit that will achieve proper noise reduction. If you are looking to replace your existing windows and require sound reduction, inquire about a double-pane sealed unit with laminated glass. Remember, there are two layers of glass here. Each layer can be modified with a laminate film. Adding a laminate film to each glass pane will greatly improve the window's ability to reduce noise. Encore offers our exclusive Serenity Window for noise reduction.
